Tottenham Hotspur boss Mauricio Pochettino expects his players to bounce back from the 3-0 home defeat against Liverpool suffered before the international break.
Spurs travel to Sunderland after winning two of their opening three Premier League games and the manager knows it will be tricky to get all three points from the Stadium of Light.
"I think we have a tough game against Sunderland," Pochettino told the club's official website.
"They are a difficult team, [and play in a] difficult stadium but most important thing is how we are.
"It's important to be ready and focused in our job, we are still improving under our philosophy, I expect a tough game.
"It has been a difficult two weeks, but we are ready to play, to make a good game.
"We expect to be better [than against Liverpool] and win the three points."
